Twitter is set to make its NewFronts debut this year on May 1 -- the first day of the two-week-long conference during which digital publishers tout new projects and initiatives in front of ad buyers in New York City. Twitter will announce new original content and live programming, according to a release.
Twitter says that video is its largest revenue-generating ad format. In recent months, it has sought to amplify its content offer in categories like sports, politics, and entertainment through partnerships with the NFL, BuzzFeed, and the Golden Globes. Last quarter, Twitter says that it streamed 600 hours of live premium video -- or a total of 400 events -- that attracted 31 million unique viewers.
“We have made major investments in video over the past few years, and being able to present the breadth, depth, and quality of that content at the NewFronts is the ultimate culmination of those efforts,” said Matthew Derella,...

Facebook stock rose 20 percent in after-hours trading Wednesday after the social network released second quarter earnings that exceeded Wall Street forecast on both revenue and earnings per share, lead by big gains in mobile advertising revenue. Mobile advertising accounted for 41 percent of Facebook's $1.6 billion ad revenue. Last quarter, mobile revenue was about 30 percent, so that is a big jump.

Who would've thought that Roger Corman's 1975 cult classic indie pic 'Death Race 2000' starring a still fairly unknown Sylvester Stallone would one day spawn not only a remake, but a franchise?! Well, low and behold, we're now up to Part 3 in the series as 'Death Race: Inferno' hits Blu-Ray and DVD on January 22nd. The good news? Paul W.S. Anderson, the helmer behind the remake is not back for this entry. Instead it's director Roel Reiné who directed the previous installment 'Death Race 2'. And if you're ready for this new movie in the series, well then hopefully these 5 clips will get you pumped for the release. Check 'em out below along with the synopsis after the film clips.

Last quarter of 2012 isn’t exactly going as per plans. ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan’, ‘Son of Sardaar’, ‘Talaash’ and ‘Khiladi 786′, all biggies boasting of superstar actors, were expected to put the box office on fire. Wait, before the box office comes in, they were also expected to be classics. Okay, let’s keep ‘Son of Sardaar’ and ‘Khiladi 786′ out of it. After all, the makers never promised a film that will be remembered or acclaimed for it’s content.
Jab Tak Hai Jaan – Son Of Sardar – Talaash
However, ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan’ and ‘Talaash’ were expected to be on these lines, at least amongst the audience. One can go on and on about the ‘wow-this-film-looks-fab-on-paper’ conversations that were centred around the Shahrukh Khan and Aamir Khan starrers. In fact at the beginning of 2012, no one would have doubted the box office journey that these films would take. Content or no content!

California’s lack of strong tax incentives is killing TV production in Los Angeles said FilmL.A. today. “For many years, we’ve relied on Television to backfill the hole left by the flight of feature film production from the L.A. region. Television has been our bread and butter, but with Sacramento’s inaction to stem our losses, other states and countries are eating off our plate,” claims the non-profit permitting group’s president Paul Audley. The statement came as the organization released a mixed second quarter report Tuesday. It also comes less than a week after the $100 million annual state incentive inched its way towards a two year extension in the Legislature. Off lot television production days in Los Angeles were down 15.4% this quarter, FilmL.A found. Last quarter the drop was 9%. The biggest drop was among Drama, which was down 39.2% from last year to 581 days, and Reality,...

Comedian Louis C.K. finds himself an overnight sensation after 25 years in the biz. Now he’s earned four Emmy nominations for writing and acting on his critically praised FX comedy Louie as well as for writing and editing his stand-up special Louis C.K.: Hilarious for Epix premium cable channel. But best of all, C.K. (a play on his last name Szekely) is widely hailed by his peers as the gold standard in stand-up. He spoke with Deadline TV Contributor Ray Richmond: Deadline: How does it feel for Ricky Gervais to call you ‘The Funniest Stand-up Working In America’ or Chris Rock refer to you as ‘The Greatest Comic Mind Of The Last Quarter Century’? Louis C.K.: It’s nice to hear, but also a little weird, you know? You can’t buy into any of it. Hearing it doesn’t make me better at anything and probably does the opposite.

AOL CEO Tim Armstrong didn't have to go very far to discover his company was struggling. He just asked one of his employees. And the employee, Michael Arrington, was happy to fill him in.
During an awkward and tense exchange at TechCrunch's Disrupt conference on Monday, Armstrong asked Arrington, who was moderating the discussion, whether he felt AOL was in trouble--quite the turn given Armstrong is the boss, and Arrington is the one who was supposed to be asking the questions.
"Yes," Arrington said immediately. "I think there is a plan [for AOL], but if you didn't have the dial-up revenue, the company would not be profitable. Would it?"
"That's opinion," Armstrong shot back.
"Well that should be fact," Arrington retorted, before acknowledging that the mood on stage had become "a little sensitive." This wasn't, after all, just Arianna Huffington clumsily shilling for her corporate parent.

"Existing models don't go away until they are replaced by models that work better," PayPal's Anuj Nayar tells us. "The consumer needs to see the benefit beyond, 'This is just cool.'"
When it came to the perhaps over-embellished headlines from Square's announcement yesterday--the end of the cash register as we know it!--PayPal spokesperson Anuj Nayar couldn't help but chuckle. After all, PayPal has been in the payments business roughly 12 years and boasts 98 million users. Last quarter, the company did nearly $1 billion in revenue, about 39% of eBay's total revenue--by comparison, Square hopes to "process" $1 billion worth of payments for the entire year, meaning it'll just take a tiny percentage cut of that money for itself.
So it's hard to imagine that with the release of a new Square app and register (which is being used by about 50 businesses across the country) that the mobile-payments startup could spark such Apple-like...
